Liquid N scorch

Thanks a million. I’ve never used liquid N before. Nozzles are available. It would be just my luck to roast the crop in a year where prices are high!

As they say, if it were raining soup I’d have a fork.....

I used to do it when I grew osr, use dribble bars and do it in/ before rain or in the evening. You might get the odd leaf scorched, I tried a few yards on one section through guardian air nozzles, not as bad as I thought, it looked a bit brown but it still grew, but you probably don't want to do the whole field like that!
 
30% of your N should go on after the start of flowering. Urea is a good fungicide for the pod spray. No black dust at harvest. Try doing alternate tramlines or two treated two untreated and watch the yield meter. You won't be first to harvest but well worth the wait.

What were the weather conditions like when you applied it? How close to other applications of sprays?
I've got away with less scorching this year, I got N2 on before the month of frosty nights and N3 has just gone on in rain showers this week

Good conditions. No wind prior to application and then put it on in drizzle.
